Security Alert Ahead of Republic Day Celebrations
Indian security agencies have heightened alert levels ahead of Republic Day, warning of potential threats to New Delhi and other sensitive locations during the national celebrations. Intelligence inputs suggest that banned Khalistani extremist groups and terror outfits with links to Bangladesh may attempt to carry out disruptive activities around January 26.
Intelligence Assessment and Risk Areas
According to officials, extremist handlers operating from abroad are suspected of coordinating with local criminal networks to execute attacks. Major urban centres, including Delhi and parts of northern India, have been identified as possible targets due to large public gatherings and high-visibility events linked to Republic Day.
Security Measures Stepped Up
In response, police and central security forces have intensified surveillance, increased deployment at sensitive locations, and conducted mock drills at public places such as transport hubs, markets, and heritage sites. Multi-agency coordination has been strengthened to ensure quick response to any threat.
Advisory to Public
Authorities have urged citizens to remain vigilant, cooperate with security personnel, and report any suspicious activity. Officials said all necessary precautions are being taken to ensure the Republic Day celebrations proceed safely and without disruption.
